My vision is blurry and I'm sitting against a wall, when I sense a vampire. But at this point, I don't rightfully care. I'm dying anyway. I was attacked by a vampire. I don't feel pain at the moment, so I'm probably in shock from all the blood loss. My wounds are terrible. I have a gash on my stomach and some bites to my left shoulder, both arms, and right hand. I have some scratches on other parts of me and feel blood on the right side of my head.499Please respect copyright.PENANAOm0llLTsS2
"Alaric?" I hear a familiar voice question.499Please respect copyright.PENANAUnudW4WUPK
I blurrily see her kneel down in front of me and look at me. She has a worried face.499Please respect copyright.PENANAA1V7oi3vES
"Katherine," I whisper, as I start to feel cold.499Please respect copyright.PENANAlNSzvCKkoM
"Alaric, you need to live," she says.499Please respect copyright.PENANA1gTyJnZWGa
"I will. When I come back," I reply.499Please respect copyright.PENANACwIhWzHgy1
"Where's your ring? It's missing," she says, scared.499Please respect copyright.PENANAojhzv7dzAV
"What do you mean?"499Please respect copyright.PENANAbLZHPXEg6M
"I mean, it's not on your finger."499Please respect copyright.PENANAAKg3eDNxoE
I know she's right, even though I can hardly feel anything. She wouldn't lie to me.499Please respect copyright.PENANAM5SMfdMHGa
"It'll be fine," I say, trying to calm her.499Please respect copyright.PENANAbl9gXdR3rJ
"No. You need my blood, Alaric. It'll heal you."499Please respect copyright.PENANAdesBrN3Dq7
I don't answer her, because now I can't. I can't focus and it's all I can do to breathe. I've died before, but I've never felt like this. I've never felt so cold before. But all the other times, I had had my ring on.499Please respect copyright.PENANAbAWRaM0nkV
